We have many organizations that request tickets throughout the year. We make every attempt to accommodate as many of these as possible. If you have an organization that aligns with our Foundationís goals, you can contact our Foundation or Community Relations department and we will try to accommodate your request.

If I know of a deserving organization or group of kids, can I request tickets? If so, how?
Yes, we always welcome the opportunity to learn more about the many organizations that serve youth in our community. The organization should contact the Storm directly to help facilitate the process. They may request tickets using the online form on the Tickets for Kids page of StormBasketball.com, or by contacting the Community Relations department at 206-217-WNBA(9622).

Approximately how many tickets are donated each season?
The number of tickets donated varies based on the amount of funds available through the Foundation. Our goal is to ensure that all money donated to the Tickets for Kids program is used to bring youth to games.

If I canít use my tickets, can I donate them through the Storm? Unfortunately, we cannot use tickets donated by an individual as a tax deductible donation to the foundation. Organizations require sections of seating grouped together on dates that work for them. It is very difficult to match single use tickets with an organizations needs. We suggest you donate the tickets to a charitable organization of your choice that is able to use them.

How much of my donation is tax deductible?
The tax deductible donation amount is equal to the donation minus any received benefit (i.e. basketball, jersey, etc.)
